  1. I would get rid of the Bio Balls and replace them with Ceramic Noodles, I use the Eheim Substrate Pro (Sintered Quartz), expensive but great stuff. I just rinse it out in Fish Tank Water, when I clean out the Filter every 6 months. Really no need for the Carbon, unless you are needing to get rid of meds in your Tank for some reason. Filter Wool can be abit of a Pain, you maybe better replacing this with Sponges like Wok said.
  2. All good Petshop's should have it, otherwise try your Vet.
  3. Just replaced mine when the Flow slowed down. Think it was about once every 2-3 weeks.
  4. Absolutely Beautiful Gannet Brings tears to my eyes when I see things like this, knowing there's NO More Baby's for me You would think with having 4 Baby Boys in 5 Years it would have put me off, but have to say, they were the Best Years of my Life :bounce: Would do it all again tomorrow if I could
  5. Would be able to fit all my fish in a Chilly Bin :roll:
  6. I guess the bath would be a good place at a time like this :roll: I've thought about this happening quite often, what on earth would I do with all my Fish, if this did happen to me :roll: So my emergency plan is to use the Bath if I have too Chuck a heater in there, filler up and hope for the best I guess
  7. Looks like the New Black and White has some good deals tooooo :roll: The new 028 Or you can transfer your 027 or 021 to 028 aswell. http://www.bw.co.nz/plan/
  8. Go on Charlie, you know you want tooooo
  9. I say "Better to Treat early, than to Treat to late and be Sorry"
  10. I'd go with 6 I have 6 Discus in my 215 Ltr Tank I have them in with Keyholes, Cardinals, Rummynoses and a couple of Whiptails, ohh nearly forgot my Loaches :roll: 3 x Water Changes a Week, of around 80%, on a Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday They all seem Happy and Healthy :bounce:
  11. If that was the Case, I would be heading straight to the Furan2 then :roll:
  12. You could always use some spacers underneath the Dividers to create a gap underneath, for better Water Flow.
  13. Plenty of good water changes and she may come right, if not, you may need to use some Furan2.
  14. I'd go with Black Will make your Plants and your Fish stand out more

    2nd filter ideas

    I have an Aquaone AR980, Aquaone AR620T and an Aquaone 620 :bounce: On all of these Tanks I have disposed of the Hood Filter and replaced it with an Aquaone CF1200 I run the Spray Bar of the Externals through the Top of the Hood Filter, under the Lid. I now have the Hood Filter filled with Filter Wool, the Spray Bar sits on top of the Filter Wool, which gets changed every so many months. I found the Hood Filter to be a right pain in the you know what :roll: No need to drill any Holes, I just made the Gap where the Pipes go through bigger, with the help of a Stanley Knife and a pair of Pliers Lynda
  19. I would go ahead and transfer them to your Main Tank Bikbok :bounce: My Fish do this so called spitting all the time
  20. Nah Different Paul :lol: The Paul I'm talking about, used to be the president of the Tga Fish Club. Not sure I can say his Surname on here, privacy act etc :roll:
  21. OK Here comes the Backlash phoenix :lol: I used Carbon in my Discus Tank, it didn't make any difference that I could see, ended up taking it out, for the Simple reason being, if I ever needed to Treat with Meds, then I would have to muck around and take the carbon out everytime I treated the Tank. Tank seems to be clear now not sure why, maybe it just needed abit of time to settle down, after I installed the New CF1200.
  22. Paul in Napier?? I very much doubt it, his kids are in Tga, LA Are we talking about the same Paul :lol: Paul57c :roll:
  23. I cant see why you wouldn't be able to freeze them Wouldn't think it would be any different than freezing Bloodworms :roll:
